well, we knew this was coming; particularly after the images we saw of this testing at the Nurburgring
well, a lot of official info is now out... but suprisingly, it wasnt at the auto-show
anyway, its 260hp (up 47%) 2.0 liter turbo and 260 ft. lbs.

its also the first GM vehicle with Direct injection; and for eurocrats out there... its 130hp/liter
they are saying it will 0-60 in under 5.5... i suspect it will be closer to 5 flat.
also, it has sport-tuned suspension, a LSD, and a stability system, and a revised front facia/rear... basically, "eat my dust Miata"
